I suggest watching some livestreamers, like Sicronflexes and SirFoch (some may make you an arrogant "man sausage" after getting unicum stats..) . Perhaps you'll learn a few trick or two :).

But I can say that do not scout. Spotting dmg has no large meaning for WN8 calculations, it is all about dmg done.. I get 3-4k WN8 with IS-7 while doing 4k dmg, yet with ELC I get 800 WN8 by spotting for 3k dmg.

Psycho, I reckon it's less about padding the WN8, and more about becoming a better player, not just a fake unicum like some people I could name.

Well, OP, if you want to be a better player (you're already twice as good as an average player) then your best way of doing it is simply enjoying the game.

Try and find a certain tank or tier that you really enjoy, whether it be tier 2 or tier 10. Once you think you have mastered this tank/tier, move onto a tank of a different tier that plays like your favourite. Normally this would be the next tank in the line.

Try it, if it feels great, then keep at it. Do whatever you like, but try and enjoy the game. From then on, your stats will naturally rise as you become a better player, learning how your favourite tank deals with certain situations and practicing them.

I prefer to play TD's but I notice that when playing either medium or heavy tanks my stats normally jump up far more than when playing TD's. so my suggestion would be to focus on those 2 tank types if you want a quick improvement.

Woody, I agree with you. The best way to improve your wn8 is using very well a tank that you are also enjoy.
Moreover, avoid low tiers. T7-10s are good to increase stats. Try to use the advantages of your tanks and hide the disadvantages, too.

Just to update you guys on how it went! I took your advice and just played tanks that I really enjoy and have taken a little break from grinding, for one I have been enjoying the game a lot more! and my WN8 has already increased by around 100 in about a month, so thank you for all the advice :)
